I looked and saw we had no Roswell thread. We should have a Roswell thread!

Thanks for the thread Mir!

When did you start watching?
Roswell started airing on FOX in 2000 in Mexico, if i´m not mistaken, and i was a fan from day one.

Who was your favorite couple?
Max and Liz

What couple disgusted you?
Tess and Max
Isabel and Jesse

Who was your favorite character?
Liz all the way and above all others

Who was your least favorite character?
mmm probably Tess, but i´m indecisive, whoever was in charge completly screwed her character.

What season was your favorite?
Season 1

Which season was your least favorite?
as a whole, season 3, but in intensity, i completly hated what they did at the end of season 2

Favorite episode?
Sexual Healing ()

Best Roswell plotline?
The whole thing with the dupes was very interesting but like with many things in Roswell, someone screwed it up.

Worst thing that ever happened on Roswell?
making Tess the bad guy at the end of season 2 and getting pregnant, it led to the complete destruction of the show (in my opinion).

If you could change one thing that happened on the show, what would it be?

see above

Do you own the DVDs for all three seasons?
season 1 and 2

After all this time, what do you think of Roswell?
one of the best concepts and chemestry ever, but unfortunately, it was managed by idiots.

Of course we have to have a Roswell Appreciation thread!

When did you start watching?
Not exactly sure. It was after the series ended though I know.

Who was your favorite couple?
Max and Liz.

What couple disgusted you?
Max and Tess.

Who was your favorite character?
Liz Parker.

Who was your least favorite character?
Tess Harding.

What season what your favorite?
Season 1, although season 3 is a close second.

Which season was your least favorite?
Season 2. The last few episodes ruined it.

Favorite episode?
Sexual Healing, Graduation, Ch-Ch-Changes...

Best Roswell plotline?
The dupes plotline was a little more interesting than the others...wish the writers would've played more into them. I also wouldn't have minded Zan being around to meet the Roswell gang.

Worst thing that ever happened on Roswell?
By far Tess getting pregnant. It was one thing for Max and Tess to sleep together but they really didn't need to add the whole baby thing.

If you could change one thing that happened on the show, what would it be?
Max and Tess having a child.

Do you own the DVDs for all three seasons?
Yes.

After all this time, what do you think of Roswell?
The concept was great but the finale of season 2 took it in a direction it didn't need to go. There are times I love the show and then times I hate it...but still it remains a huge obsession of mine lol. Roswell could've developed into something really amazing if given some more time. I would've been happy with even one more season.

2000

Who was your favorite couple?
Max/Liz

What couple disgusted you?
Max//Tess also Sean//Liz and even if it doesn't exist Michael//Liz

Who was your favorite character?

Max Evans.
Female: Liz Parker.


Who was your least favorite character?

Tess Stalker Harding

What season was your favorite?
season one

Which season was your least favorite?
season two


Favorite episode?

pilot, sexual healing, chant down babylon, graduation, blind date.. too many xD

Best Roswell plotline?
Max and Liz
general plotline: the skins
and the whole metaphor about nature vs artificial things ("destiny")

Worst thing that ever happened on Roswell?
To get rid of Tess using Max and Liz. Max knocking Tess up
when you need to make a character so OOC in order to pair him with another character even for such a short time it's very telling. M//T= epic fail.
I also think that they made Liz OOC too just because they needed to get rid of her for a while. It was absurdity that she didn't tell Max about FMax even when Alex died. The writers needed her lie because if Max had know the truth then nothing of what happened could have happened. And even with Liz's lies it still didn't make sense.

If you could change one thing that happened on the show, what would it be?
Tess being pregnant.
I don't care about her being "evil", it made perfect sense to me because the writers never made her so clear and they were free to do everything they wanted with her. I never trusted her and even if i was supposed to forget about her manipulations and obsession about destiny i never did.
I just wish that they didn't use Max in order to get rid of her. It just made the double standard (about Max) of some fans even bigger than before

Do you own the DVDs for all three seasons?
yep


After all this time, what do you think of Roswell?

with all its flaw it's still the best show ever for me
it could have been better handled but honestly the more i watch other shows the more i feel lucky as a roswell fan
the perfect tv-show doesn't exist and i'm starting to believe that 3 seasons are better than 7-8.

When did you start watching?
From the very beginning. I remember it being advertised and falling in love with the idea of aliens being on earth and Max and Liz even then.

Who was your favorite couple?
Max and Liz.

What couple disgusted you?
Max and Tess and Isabel and Jesse because holy mother did they waste season three on those two.

Who was your favorite character?
Liz and Max though by the end I was more loyal to Liz than Max because of some of the decisions he made.

Who was your least favorite character?
Tess and Sean. And sometimes Isabel.

What season was your favorite?
Season one. Season two was pretty good too but the Tess and Max crap turned me off.

Which season was your least favorite?
Season 2.

Favorite episode?
Sexual Healing, Pilot, Ch-Ch-Changes...

Best Roswell plotline?
The Dupes and Max, Michael, Isabel and Tess being royalty on their planet. We knew they were aliens but when he learned Max was king...

Worst thing that ever happened on Roswell?
Max suddenly sleeping with Tess and producing a child. Fine, he slept with her even though he still loved Liz and suddenly he likes boinking on the floor...okay. (Shaggy song, anyone? Hehe.) But a baby!?!?! Why a baby? Whoever thought that up was a real dumbass!

If you could change one thing that happened on the show, what would it be?
I'm glad Tess joined the show. The added drama was great. I don't like that they made her the bad guy suddenly even though I'm sure they were heading in that direction. I just liked that Liz had competition and whooped destiny's ass! So, I'd change Max and Tess making a baby together. Because it was pushing it realistically for Max to even sleep with her. The fact that he didn't use a condom...Max would have used one. Especially since we know he had one.

Do you own the DVDs for all three seasons?
Yes, I made sure I had the whole set before Fox (I think?) decided to feature KH as the star on all three covers.

After all this time, what do you think of Roswell?
It's forever my favorite series. I often think of what they should have done that could have made it so much better but really it's what they did right that made it my favorite so I can't complain too much. There will never be another Max and Liz.

When did you start watching? When it first aired!

Who was your favorite couple? Max\Liz they're my OTP actually!

What couple disgusted you? Max\Tess - my most hated couples ever, kind of goes hand in hand w/ Max and Liz being my OTP .

Who was your favorite character? Liz and Max! & Michael.

Who was your least favorite character? Tess

What season was your favorite? 1! Where it all began.

Which season was your least favorite? S2 even though it did have some good moments.

Favorite episode? Tough! Can't pick just one so Sexual Healings, Pilot, The Departure, Ch-Ch-Changes, Busted etc.

Best Roswell plotline? Anything good that ever came out of Max\Liz, Royal 4, The Dupes (but they just kind of disappeared didn't they.)

Worst thing that ever happened on Roswell? Tess but I mean, I understand why she had to be on the show, rocking the boat and all. I didn't mind her in the context of hanging out w/ Kyle or just being part of the Royal 4 in general but as soon as you put her alone with Max...

If you could change one thing that happened on the show, what would it be? Max getting Tess pregnant.

Do you own the DVDs for all three seasons? Yes!

After all this time, what do you think of Roswell? I think it's a really solid show overall. It had my favorite ship in the entire world, it has Maria\Michael which is also really great, it had it's flaws but it had good storyline, lovely friendships, sweet moment and sci-fi fun!

I liked Tess around Kyle too. When they put her with Max she was always living in the past as if she had rights to his future.

Tess/Kyle were great until the writers decided, 'Hey, remember all that flirting and bonding the two of them did? Well, guess what? It was just a sibling-like dynamic, mmkay? Nothing more to it.'

My ASS.

yep, if their shipper name and the scene that generated it wasn't a mindwarp then they were very "incestuous" siblings

it's funny how some people seem to notice only some of the things that didn't make sense in the end. Like if until departure everything made soooo sense too bad that if something really didn't make sense there it started way before the end and everything was linked.

First of all congratulations on your idea!!! Brilliant.

When did you start watching?
When it first started in Latinamerica, I guess it was in March, 2000. I watched it with my family while we were having lunch every Sunday.

Who was your favorite couple?
Max and Liz.

What couple disgusted you?
Max and Tess.

Who was your favorite character?
Liz Parker.

Who was your least favorite character?
Tess Harding.

What season what your favorite?
Season 1, although I was an absolutely fan in the other two ones. I mean I watch the other two just because I was a fan. Season 1 was superb and you needn't have to be a fanatic to watch.

Which season was your least favorite?
Season 2. Although one of my fav episodes of all times is TEOTW

Favorite episode?
Sexual Healing, Ch-Ch-Changes, The camping one (I don't remember the name) and The end of the world.

Best Roswell plotline?
An alien who is in love for life with a simple town girl and adores her in silence for years.

Worst thing that ever happened on Roswell?
By far Tess getting pregnant. It was one thing for Max and Tess to sleep together but they really didn't need to add the whole baby thing. That ruined completely everything, plus the fact that Liz and Max never talked about it.

If you could change one thing that happened on the show, what would it be?
Max sleeping with Tess

Do you own the DVDs for all three seasons?
No

After all this time, what do you think of Roswell?
The concept was great and as time goes by I get to love the cast but what really strucked me and has me as a fan still today (I clarify I hate sci fi- vampires, aliens, demons) is the awesomness that was and are Max and Liz. I usually don't fall for couples in cinema or tv because I don't believe in what they display, but Shiri and Jason has been, by far, the most beautiful thing I've ever watch on entertaining industry.

Oh no. Pairing her up with Max who didn't want anything to do with her until Liz started shutting him out was the RIGHT way to go.
